"Big Belle"

Our little girl turned two a couple of weeks ago and something about it was bitter sweet. We have always said that we can't wait for her to get older, to talk to us, and for us to get to know more of her adorable personality. But now that it is actually happening I am realizing that my babies aren't babies anymore. They're kids. I have two kids! How crazy is that?

Abby has loved Belle from Beauty and the Beast for quite some time now. Belle was actually one of her first words, so we knew that we would be planning a princess party at some point. Turns out that two was the year to do it. My cousin, Dayna, even came by on Abby's actual

 birthday to surprise Abby and her friends during the parent's bible study. Abby to this day still asks if "Big Belle" is going to come over or if she is at home with the Beast.

Abby, Jacob, and I also celebrated on her big day with a cupcake from Icing on the Cupcake. Both of the kids only ate the frosting, but we had tons of fun and I got some great pictures.

And Abby's "Tea for Two" was also a huge success. So many of our friends and family came out to celebrate--it really was so great to see everyone and have our loved ones there to shower Abby with some birthday love. The girls were all so cute in their princess outfits and the boys had an equally fun time throwing teacups instead of sipping them. I knew that they would find something to enjoy at a little girls tea party!
